Thanks so much for this! Incredibly rare footage. I love the mostly awe-struck faces in the audience -- appropriate! The whole point of the tune is "Look at what we can do!" and everyone is supposed to be amazed. And amazed, Benny always left 'em ...

I saw Zoot Sims with Benny Goodman in the early sixties, just after they returned from touring Russia (which was quite a big deal then). The concert was at Disneyland of all places. SO GOOD> thanks very much for posting this!

Why are there adverts on youtube now, they're trying their best to make me stop using this site... also I've made the obsevation that these old videos are only watched by 6 year olds because old people don't even know they're on here

@ABrandsma You're right. No you tube, no video games, no TV. Just think how much time these kids had to practice and become talented. Todays kids will have nothing to show for their childhood except stretch marks and diabetes.

@Solis1112 The advantage to today is you have the internet. So, any music you want, you can have. So...I'm glad I was born in this time. But I wish I was born in the future...if there is one.

@Solis1112 depends on what you really like, I like jazz & blues, but also rock & house/electronic. I think it is just the time & place you listen a certain song or genre

Every time has its advantages and disadvantages, but in the quality of music I totally agree. Nowadays we are listening to computer sounds backing a vocalist, who's voice has been edited 2 times every bar. I prefer human beings making music. One point , in the 30's they had no youtube!

Oh sure, he was a marvelous player. He simply played lead (alto part) on his tenor while with Woody Herman. Had so much control that nobody bothered.

That's true and he also played alongside Zoot Sims in Woody Herman's most famous sax section. What I was thinking is that Stockholm & Blokker are not just around the corner. But maybe he was touring himself anyway.

I think that's unlikely, but who knows?
